But that doesn't mean you're stuck eating grilled cheese sandwiches for the next week... unless they're made from bleu, brie, gruyere and cheddar, that is.

Bethesda Row Restaurant Week kicks off today and runs through May 2, appealing to -- as planners put it -- "the fashionably hungry." The eight participating spots include Mon Ami Gabi, Assaggi, Redwood and Jaleo, which are offering three-course lunches for $15 and three-course dinners for $30.

At Mon Ami Gabi, lunch includes your choice of a ham-and-cheese crepe, a whole-wheat-and-chive Crepe with a dijon and frisee salad, a prime cheeseburger and frites, a four-cheese grilled sandwich or a short rib sandwich. And that's just the middle course -- see the complete list of menu offerings here.
